Turns out this was genius level play calling. He knew Lafleur would instinctively go into kill the clock and play for the fg mode killing any chance we would have of winning the game.
Brady has become a broken record about the downfield passing game. Thing he doesn't mention is that our running game doesn't move the ball forward the same as an incomplete pass, but at least the pass has a chance at doing something.
Beyond the fact that us losing would suck I wouldn't feel bad about either of the other 2 teams winning. It's not like losing to the Yankees would be. If it's tampa, at least a new team is guaranteed to win a world series and Cleveland seems similar to Milwaukee in a lot of ways. Overall I'm not scared of either team though so it doesn't matter who we face.
My vision for woody is the chet Steadman route. Blow out his arm on the final pitch in the 9th inning up by 1 with a runner on third. Batter hits a nibbler back to the mound woody wins a foot race to home plate to tag out the runner winning the series. Retires a hero, champion, and legend.
Ugh I'm so pissed uribe was left in to face ohtani. Just be happy he got Muncy to chase and bring in someone else. Uribe clearly didn't have it tonight and not even the strike out changed that observation.
Just need the offense to do what it's done so far this series and counter punch. Snell has been pretty on today though, feels like we need a miracle.
Maybe it's dodger opponent playoff trauma, but I was extremely pessimistic about having to play them again this year. Now being up 2-0, I actually have hope and don't fear the AL at all. Though in the back of my mind I have Randy Quaid from Major League yelling this is what Wisconsin teams do in the playoffs to rip your heart out!
I do not what is wrong with all the people asking for an 11 game win streak to end the season. Why do they want us to lose today? Is there something wrong with a 16 game win streak to end the season?
Colts coach went to the matt Lafleur school of playing for the tie, yet doing it very poorly.
He failed the final exam question of, when playing for the tie, is 3 minutes left too much time to leave Patrick mahomes.
